Powerpoint 2008 crashing/quitting and Update not installingHi there, just bought Office 2008 for Mac and powerpoint is crashing all the
time- I'm using some movies in the presentation. This is maddening. So, I
downloaded the latest update (SP1) as well as update 12.1.9, and neither will
install- I get this error message:
"You cannot install Office 2008 12.1.9 Update on this volume. A version of
the software required to install this update was not found on this volume."
Just installed Office 2008, legit version with serials and everything, works
fine (except for powerpoint issue). So what software am I missing, and why
can't I...

Reserved Words IssueHi All,
I have a query which runs fine and returns what I want to see from a table
with columns using the words "Full" and "Function" which I did not realise
were reserved words in access. When i add a text box to a report with the
code DLookUp("Full Function","Year To Date Summary") it returns the #error
message in the text box, is there anyway around this problem so that I can
use these words? I really dont want to have to change all the database etc.
Thanks

AUTD Troubleshootin tool errorHello,
I am receiving an error when I try to run the AUTD tool I downloaded from

seems fine. After launching the site on my IE browser and upon entering the

either does not exist or is not provisioned for AUTD".
I have not had any luck finding any information from the web thus far.
Does someone have a solution to this problem, or am I missing a link?
Any information is appreciated.

How do you remove a paragraph border in Word 2007?Hello:
I went Page Layout tab, Page Borders, Borders Tab, clicked Box, clicked the
drop down menu and selected Apply to Paragraph, clicked OK. I have a border
around my text. However, as I didn't choose the custom border, there is a
bottom border line where the paragraph spans more than one page. the result
is that I'll have a border on one page and a border around the remaining
part of the paragraph on the next page. I know how to take care of this
problem. However, to get there, I need to get rid of the border.
Thanks for your consideration.

Microsoft Office Mac 2004Hi, ( please use this email to reply - jemarrero@jrorganicsfarm.com )

No Paste Options ButtonWhen I paste text, the paste options button does not appear. Under Word

Any insight appreciated.
I've read that some add-ins--particularly those that take charge of your
defaults--can prevent the paste options button from appearing. Do you have
an add-in called "set default view" or something similar? If so, try
removing the add-in and see if that fixes it.
Sometimes, turning it on/off can spontaneously fix a stuck registry setting.

The short form of the answer is: in the MouseDoubleClick event handler for
your textbox (TTT), set text property of your label (LLL) to the selected
text in TTT, eg by
LLL.Text = Trim(TTT.SelectedText)
The purpose of Trim() is that the default function of double click is to

Emailing Word doc as an attachmentHi everyone and thanks for any help you can offer. One of you guys always

I'm running XP Pro and Office 2007.

already has my signature block in the document.
When I'm working in Word and want to send the doc I'm working as an email

email message does not have my default signature block.

Changing default indents for lists (Word 2007)In previous versions of Word this was relatively easy. I'm pretty adept with
Office products, but as far as I can see this is no longer possible. Can
someone confirm or enlighten me?
I don't like the indents that Word 2007 imposes on bulleted and numbered
lists -- it wastes a lt of space and for me is difficult to visually scan. I
prefer my first levels of bullets (or numbers) to appear so that the bullet
is lined up with the left margin with a hanging indent of 0.25". Then I like
the second level of bullets to be at 0.25" with a hanging indent of 0.5",

Table of Contents for Word 2007I can't seem to add an item to an existing Table of Contents in Word 2007. I

You add items to the TOC by adding headings in the document, then updating
the TOC field, not by adding to the TOC manually.

You need to tell us what you've tried. "Many ways" doesn't give us much to
go on. Try building an ODBC named connection (DSN) to a SQL-Server database.

Where did word count go in Outlook 2007?There used to be a feature under Tools that allowed you to count the

Yes, its on the Spelling button at the end of the message ribbon.
